    Johnnie Walker. Recognize the name? It's a brand of scotch. Now, I’m not a scotch person. In fact, I’ve never tasted it. But I saw one of their ads in the New York Times with this slogan" The next step is the one that matters most.   I immediately thought of the Apostle Paul   But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.

      For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalms 139:13 It’s bathing suit time…staring in the mirror at myself, God reminded me that I’m His masterpiece.

    After a couple weeks break, I'm back at it.  Check out a wonderful blog, The Stream's Edge by Jeanne Doyon to read her post on the tools of the shepherd. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4b When you read this, what comes to mind first? My eyes focus on that word rod and my mind flashes back to my childhood. “If you do that one more time…” And I usually did.… Read More
